'The Karate Kid' Franchise Owes Its Existence to DC Comics

The Karate Kid franchise has come a long way. The original film — a fiery, sharp, and layered take on bullying and self-improvement — still speaks volumes in today's world. Following its success, three sequels were released, namely, The Karate Kid Part II (1986), The Karate Kid Part III (1989), and The Next Karate Kid (1994). At the time, the choice to make quick follow-ups was a wise one since martial arts movies were wildly popular in the 1980s and 1990s. After the fourth movie, it would take 16 years for the franchise to be revisited.
